A new microscope is capable of live imaging of biological processes in such detail that moving protein complexes are visible. In Nijmegen, the world's first microscope has been installed that is ...

In a sunny third-floor office at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Research Campus in Ashburn, Virginia, Philipp Keller is showing off the optics for his latest microscope. They’re not ...

Biophysicists have developed control software that optimizes how fluorescence microscopes collect data on living samples. Their control loop, used to image mitochondrial and bacterial sites of ...

This might be the beginning of arterial calcifications. It is an elekron microscopy image of calcified material forming deposits. This is the first time it was possible to show a biological process ...
